Trip Info

See the highlights of West Cornwall including a private tour to magical St.Michael’s Mount, the ancient castle on the offshore island, only accessible by causeway or boat. See Land’s End, pretty hidden coves, the UNESCO World Heritage Cornish mining area perched on the dramatic Cornish coastline and stroll the pretty streets of St.Ives, often voted UK best seaside resort. You will be collected from your hotel at an agreed time for the drive to St.Michael’s Mount, your guide pointing out places of interest and telling some of the history and stories of Cornwall on the route. Admission is included in your tour price. This former monastery dates back to the 8th century and has been owned by the same family since 1650! The castle is spectacular and the sea views are some of the best in the UK.

A delicious Cornish pasty may be the lunch of choice, before you drive through Penzance visiting a delightful hidden cove or two en route towards Land’s End. Here,there are great photo opportunities including the chance for your photo next to the famous signpost showing the distance to your home town. There are good views out to the Longships Lighthouse.

We’ll stop at Botallack en route. This is where there is an iconic Cornish landscape of the former mining engine houses which are perched just above the crashing waves. This was one of the locations for the recent BBC TV series Poldark and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After a short drive to St.Ives You’ll be free to wander around this pretty town, regularly voted the best UK seaside resort and maybe visit the Tate gallery or the Hepworth museum. The shops and galleries make this a dream location for your souvenirs. You will then be taken back to your hotel.
